Treason against Nation is bad, but Ultimate Treason is against Faith and Morals.

Don't just look at Washington as the source of all of our problems; look first at what's being taught from the Pulpit.

These troubled days, everywhere I look I see underhanded betrayal favoring human depravity. The election of President Elect Trump may be a bright spot for political and economic America, but America is not going to return to former greatness unless and until her population predominantly returns to their former Christian goodness.

That former goodness was born of the American Christian Pulpit.

How many "Christians" today even attend services on Sunday, as compared to way-back-when, when America was a truly great nation?

And of those who do attend regularly, what do they hear from the Pulpit? What do they read in their Church Bulletins? What are they asked to give to? Who are they asked to accept and embrace?

What sin has been "normalized" and no longer held to be sinful?

Back in September of 2013 Raymond Cardinal Burke addressed a major component of the ultimate treason against faith and morals in an interview, which can be seen in completeness at 2013 Interview on the Cardinal Burke website.

Q. Things seem to be declining at an accelerating
rate in our country. For example, it is shocking how quickly things
happened in Minnesota. A year ago it seemed almost certain that a
November ballot referendum would constitutionally define marriage as the
union of one man and one woman. Despite a heroic effort by Archbishop
John Nienstedt and many other Church leaders, it failed. Just four
months later a law was enacted making Minnesota the 12th state to
legalize so- called same-sex marriage. How did we get to this point?
Aside from prayer and fasting, what can the faithful do?

A. First of all, I would underline the need for much
prayer and fasting. The alarming rapidity of the realization of the
homosexual agenda ought to awaken all of us and frighten us with regard
to the future of our nation. This is a work of deceit, a lie about the
most fundamental aspect of our human nature, our human sexuality, which
after life itself defines us. There is only one place these types of
lies come from, namely Satan. It is a diabolical situation which is
aimed at destroying individuals, families, and eventually our nation.

How did we get to this point? The fact that these kinds of “arrangements” are made legal is a manifestation of a culture of death,
of an anti-life and anti-family culture which has existed in our nation
now for some time. We as Catholics have not properly combated it because
we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth
needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of
catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for
fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical
attention. I can say this because I was the bishop of two different
dioceses.

After fifty years of this, we have many adult voters who support
politicians with immoral positions because they do not know their
Catholic Faith and its teaching with regard to same-sex attraction and
the inherent disorder of sexual relations between two persons of the
same sex. Therefore, they are not able to defend the Catholic Faith in
this matter.

What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation
of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which
governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other
people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to
accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not
the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity. Charity means
speaking the truth, especially the truth about human life and human
sexuality. While we love the individual, we desire only the best for one
who suffers from an inclination to engage in sexual relations with a
person of the same sex. We must abhor the actions themselves because
they are contrary to nature itself as God has created us.

The virtue of charity leads us to be kind and understanding to the
individual, but also to be firm and steadfast in opposing the evil
itself. This confusion is widespread. I have encountered it many times
myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to
address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk
about it because the topic is not “politically correct.” But we cannot
be silent any longer or we will find ourselves in a situation that will
be very difficult to reverse.

I use this quote first as an example of correct teaching versus the general social acceptance of the intolerable. It always bears repeating: Satan knows that if he can get a man to accept sodomy as "good", he can then get that man to accept anything at all as "good".

Today, in 2016 America, homosexuality is seen as normal, i.e., "good".

That appears to be the predominant view. Are we still good?

Just look around the internet for opposition to nature and to decency and to goodness, coming from the most trusted, and thus the most unexpected "authorities".

A Religious Left Exposedarticle exposes how Catholic Relief Services, a supposedly Catholic charity supported by the USCCB, is pushing Population Control measures in direct violation of Church teaching.

A Les Femmes - The Trutharticle exposes how a Spanish Archbishop knowingly ordained to the Priesthood an active male homosexual "couple".

And another article from that site predicts more pederasty and sex abuse from Catholic clerics, because of a finding that "At any one time, no more than 50% of priests are practicing celibacy."

We have seen in this site how the CCHD, the biggest "Catholic" charity in America and perhaps the world, originated as an Alinsky organization, aimed, as are all Alinksy organizations, at contributing to eventual Marxist Revolution. Despite this fact, CCHD is still strongly supported by the USCCB, which itself may be argued to have originated, for the most part, with Saul Alinsky orchestrated organization. And Saul Alinsky was no Catholic; quite the opposite.

Now we can point our fingers at all of our various Protestant brothers, and we can tut-tut at how some of them ordain women, and ordain homosexuals, and support contraception, abortion, divorce and remarriage, homosexual marriage, assisted suicide, cloning, and on, and on. But look around, at what's going on within our own supposedly One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

I don't know about you, but the conclusion I draw from all of this is:

Today, the Catholic Church, the Church of our fathers, the Church which Christ Himself founded, does not speak with one voice.

All those Protestant Denominations, and even all those non-denominational Denominations, are descended from descendents of, essentially, us; the one original Church. Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, etc., all broke ranks with the original Catholic Church, and all those other Denominations are descended from them.

If anyone within all of Christianity is supposed to be absolutely reliable for the original unvarnished revealed Truth of Christianity, it is us.

Without that essential Truth and someone in authority to properly pass it on without taint or error, mankind is lost. Not just America.

"The most obvious answer, then, to the question, why we
yield to the authority of the Church in the questions and developments
of faith, is, that some authority there must be if there is a revelation
given, and other authority there is none but she. A revelation is not given, if there be no authority to decide what it is that is given.
In the words of St. Peter to her Divine Master and Lord, “To whom
shall we go?” Nor must it be forgotten in confirmation, that Scripture
expressly calls the Church “the pillar and ground of the Truth,” and
promises her as by covenant that “the Spirit of the Lord that is upon
her, and His words which He has put in her mouth shall not depart out of
her mouth, nor out of the mouth of her seed, nor out of the mouth of
her seed’s seed, from henceforth and for ever. ” (Emphasis added.)(An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine; John Henry
Cardinal Newman; Notre Dame Press; 1989 (original 1878); pages 88 and
89)

Yet, as I said, the Church today does not speak with one voice.

Look around; you don't have to look too far to prove that fact.

The Dubia still stand unanswered. I'm not smart enough to know about Papal Deposability. But I'm smart enough to know that we need to pray for the authors of the Dubia and for some form of a return to simple common sense, first and foremost at the top of the Catholic Church, or the whole world is in deep trouble.

... when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?--Luke 18:8

Still Time To Get It Right. “Once you understand the role of energy in everything, you can begin to appreciate why there's simply nothing more important to get right. Energy is at the root of everything. If you have sufficient energy, anything is possible. But without it, everything grinds to a halt.” Chris Martenson

The Heresy of Chrislam. Those claiming that the “Allah” of Islam’s Qu’ran and Yahweh or God of both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible are one and the same are missing one glaring point: GOD NEVER CONTRADICTS HIMSELF.

Never be lukewarm.Life itself demands passion.He who is indifferent to God has already forfeited his soul.He who is indifferent to politics has already forfeited his liberty.In America, religion is not mere window dressing and citizenship is not a spectator sport.Do not allow our common destiny as a whole people to just happen without your input. Get in the fight! Engage the Enemy!Seek the Truth; find the Way; live the Life; please God, and live forever.

Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and
broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in
thereat. How narrow is the gate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life:
and few there are that find it! Beware of false prophets, who come to you in
the clothing of sheep, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.Jesus
Christ; Matt 7:13-15

Treachery and Treason PagesAll the sneaky, underhanded ways that Evil undoes natural goodness, by convincing good men, first that nothing is black and white; second, that there are many, many shades of gray; and third and finally, that bad is good, and good is bad.

"We belong to the Church militant; and She is militant because on earth the powers of darkness are ever restless to encompass Her destruction. Not only in the far-off centuries of the early Church, but down through the ages and in this our day, the enemies of God and Christian civilization make bold to attack the Creator’s supreme dominion and sacrosanct human rights.”--Pope Pius XII

"It is not lawful to take the things of others to give to the poor. It is a sin worthy of punishment, not an act deserving a reward, to give away what belongs to others."--St. Francis of Assisi

Truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance
may deride it, but in the end, there it is.—Winston

The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who
deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.—Ayn Rand

Atheist Genesis:

In the beginning there was nothing, and nothing happened to nothing.
And then nothing accidentally exploded and created everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally encountered other bits of everything and formed some new kinds of everything.
And then some bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into self-replicating bits of everything.
And then some self-replicating bits of everything accidentally arranged themselves into dinosaurs.

“ … for I have sworn upon
the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind
of man.” wrote Thomas Jefferson in a letter to Dr. Benjamin Rush in
the year of our Lord 1800. The context
involved resistance to any form of Christianity or Deism legally imposing
itself throughout the USA. We must wonder what he might say
about our current government's forced imposition of strict secularism – i.e.,
anti-theism – throughout the USA. I submit that legally enforced secularism of society, like theocracy, like Marxism,
and like Islam, is, precisely, a form of tyranny over the mind of man.Nothing good can come from the religious cleansing of Judaeo-Christian society. Government imposed secularism is just another form of theocracy.
